"Indeed. This Xiao had not expected these dozen-odd great formations to be linked ring within ring. Unless all the formations within Tianmen Mountain were restored, the Tianmen Breaking Flow Great Formation could not take shape!" Xiao Hua said blandly. "However, since such a formation can stop mid Foundation Establishment cultivators, it should be able to trap late Foundation Establishment cultivators as well. Tianmen Mountain should have no cause for concern! This Xiao has also fulfilled his promise to Fellow Daoist Huang!"
"Yes, Fellow Daoist Xiao truly is a man who keeps his word!" Huang Yun said. She glanced at Yang Fan, who reached into her robes and took out a tiny storage pouch. She stepped forward respectfully and said with a smile, "This is... what my father had long promised Senior. My husband had wanted to give it to Senior long ago, but I feared... that once Senior took the item... Sigh, I truly measured a gentleman's heart with a petty person's yardstick. I hope Senior can forgive me!"
"Hehe, no matter!" Xiao Hua took it without even looking, tucked it into his robes, and smiled. "This Xiao has spent the past several years studying formations and had no time to examine this item. Giving it to this Xiao now is just right!"
"Senior Xiao, this evening I have arranged a banquet at Vermilion Bird Hall to thank Senior for your great merit. I hope Senior will honor us with your presence!" Huang Yun said apologetically.
"Hehe, Vermilion Bird Hall has been repaired as well? Unfortunately, the Vermilion Bird Blazing Fire Great Formation is a vicious formation capable of killing Nascent Soul cultivators. It is far beyond this Xiao's current cultivation to set up," Xiao Hua said with a soft laugh.
A trace of disappointment appeared on Huang Yun's face.
